Due Date!

Yay! It's officially the due date. How exciting.


Yesterday I had only Braxton Hicks all day, despite the nighttime contractions earlier. I was in a chipper mood though, because of the last night's progress.

We kept busy around the house. I finished making the chicken soup, I wrapped presents, I started setting up and organizing rooms for family to arrive on Sunday and the dog got a walk.

Then we were lucky to have a friend in town for business stop by for dinner. Donavon whipped up some chili and corn muffins and we had a great visit with him.

We got to bed around 11, hoping for more night time contractions. Which did come. At 1:41 I woke up with them about 6-8 minutes apart. He was SO active between them, I was really amused. I decided to go back to sleep around 2:15 though. Throughout the night I woke up with them. Obviously, they were not patterned and never started getting stronger. But until 8:14 this morning I was having them intermittently enough.

Now we're up for the day. In contrast to the Braxton Hicks contractions, these seem to subside when I am active. I'm just going to focus on breakfast right now.

Oh, and our landlord has decided that my due date is a good day to come to town to fix our squirrel problem. Hah.
